It is good that antispasmodic medicine works wonders for you. Now, in your case, primary attack was most likely caused by corn intolerance (or fats that popcorn was made on). Up to 15- 20% US population have some form of corn intolerance. (Not all of them recognize intolerance symptoms. Sometimes those symptoms are very mild.) Very many people suffering from allergies, eczema, ADD-ADHD, celiac, psoriasis, digestive problems, IBD, IBS, constipation, .... have problems tolerating corn. Intolerance is No1 cause of gallstones attack. It doesn't always have to be a fatty meal. ( though popcorn always contains oils heated on up to 300C , and sometimes , it is even made on hydrogenated fats, oil ) But, attack can be caused by 100% fat free food, food you can't tolerate. Stay away from popcorn, to prevent attacks! Agnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2002 Report Share Posted March 30, 2002 Agnes, Thanks for the popcorn tip, but that was what I was trying to accomplish. I knew it would bring on an attack. Then I added the oil flush to help the stone move out into the duct. The purpose of the colic-flush was to bring on an attack (meaning the stone is now in the desired position to exit the gb because it is sitting at the mouth of the gb causing the pain) and then complete the mission with a flush. When I do the regular flush, the stone does not come out because either the stone is not in the desired position, or the gb is not contracting enough to get it out, or the ES has relaxed the gb along with the ducts. This colic-flush seemed like the optimum time and placement to get the stone moving out into the duct. I really feel it may work for some people but it didn't for me. Maybe my ducts are too small, or the 1 cm stone is too big or hard to move through. Whatever the case, the colic-flush contracted my gb harder than any regular flush has. Also, it brought on a harder attack than I have ever had from eating food. For some reason, the stone didn't pass. Back to the drawing board. Barry. > > > > > > Ate regularly all day.
